[Verse 1]
They laughed at me in New York City
Called me a fool in L.A
I doubt that Nashville saw me comin'
Besides the bar folks workin' late
Played every room in the state of Texas
All the ones in California too
So many nights I can't remember
Maybe I've played a song for you
[Verse 2]
Left San Francisco in a hurry
Then ran me out of Fort Worth town
Into the bottom of New Orleans
Them river boats make a lonesome sound
Lawmen, they caught me in Virginia
No need to tell you what I'd done
Make sure you get your act together
Before you roll up eighty-one
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I've seen the other side of Dallas
Tryin' to climb up to the top
One that I know about that city
Man, the hustle never stops
That's how I got real good at losing
And wastin' precious time
Most folks who talk about me
Have never lived no life like mine
They laughed at me in New York City
Called me a fool in L.A
I doubt that Nashville saw me comin'
Besides the bar folks workin' late
Played every room in the state of Texas
All the ones in California too
So many nights I can't remember
Maybe I've played a song for you
[Verse 2]
Left San Francisco in a hurry
Then ran me out of Fort Worth town
Into the bottom of New Orleans
Them river boats make a lonesome sound
Lawmen, they caught me in Virginia
No need to tell you what I'd done
Make sure you get your act together
Before you roll up eighty-one
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I've seen the other side of Dallas
Tryin' to climb up to the top
One that I know about that city
Man, the hustle never stops
That's how I got real good at losing
And wastin' precious time
Most folks who talk about me
Have never lived no life like mine
